Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Place 35g of roasted sword beans in a sieve and shake gently to remove dust, then wipe 20g of dried jujubes, halve them, and remove the pits for clean brewing.
- 2
Wash and peel 12g of fresh ginger, then slice it into thin 2mm pieces to ensure that the aromatic compounds can infuse into the water quickly and deeply during simmering.
- 3
Add 1200ml of water, prepared sword beans, jujubes, ginger, and 1 cinnamon stick to a large pot and heat over high heat until the mixture reaches a vigorous rolling boil.

Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the roasted bean flavors and herbal aromas to become deeply concentrated in the tea liquid.
- 5

- 6
Stir in 2tbsp of honey until dissolved and serve the tea warm immediately, or allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for a refreshing iced beverage option.
